three days ago, my bantam hen was sitting on the roosting bars after all the other chickens went out for food, she is usely one of the first ones out there. I picked her up and she let me without flapping or anything and she usely is scared of me her comb and wattles were a little pale. I brought her into a place where I keep sick chickens and gave her water and food she was eating some of it. now she just died, does anyone know what was wrong with her?

Oh my gosh. I'm sorry for your loss. She could have had serious internal parasites, which would cause pale comb but not a sudden death. Internal bleeding is also quite possible.

I hope it was just that and not something that will pass to the other chickens

Yeah. Could you give me a detailed list of her symptoms, including poop color and how often she laid eggs?

she wasn't laying any eggs and she stopped eating and drinking but
I gave her water out of a syringe and got her to eat a little and then she just started to lay around with her eyes closed and not making any sounds

Poor thing. Did she poop at all? You can tell a lot by the poop.

I'm sorry about your hen.

Unfortunately, it's hard to know why one dies unless a necropsy is performed.

If you still have the body, then refrigerate it and send it to your state lab, this will give you the most information. https://www.metzerfarms.com/poultry-labs.html
